A quick update to mention that Aidan is still doing great. The incision at his G Tube site has completely closed over, though it's still a bit red. It doesn't cause him any discomfort. Several of us in the family travelled up north to see friends. A seven hour trip and temps over 100 both ways, but Aidan was completely happy. While there, we got to go to the beach, and he went swimming in an inflatable tire, he got to play on a real (and HUGE) lawn and feed chickens and play on the swing and see fish in a hatchery and visit a historical museum with a working model train. Plus all the unfamiliar people and the new environment and toys. He enjoyed it so much that every day since we got back he completely packs the back of our Suburban with whatever he can find and asks me hopefully, "Where are we going?"
